  If such name shall not be available for use,  the  petitioner  forthwith
  upon  being  notified  thereof  shall  apply  to such department for the
  reservation of another and available name and any judgment or  order  of
  annulment  made in such proceeding shall order and direct the petitioner
  to execute a certificate of change of the corporate name to  such  other
  name.

  direct, shall transmit a certified copy of  the  judgment  or  order  of
  annulment of the dissolution, together with the certificate of change of
  corporate  name in the appropriate case, to the department of state, and
  a certified copy of such judgment or order to the clerk of the county in
  which the office of the corporation was  located  on  the  date  of  the
  dissolution.  Upon  filing  by the department of state, the annulment of
  dissolution shall be effected.
